Question on Centre of Unit

[Mindless]

Hi everyone,

I want to move an Arcane Tower to the centre of a region. However, the region is pretty small (a square region with sides a little bigger than the diameter of the tower itself). I used the trigger Move a Unit to Centre of Region Instantly but the centre of the Arcane Tower does not perfectly align with the centre of the region. The region is so small so it makes these things really noticable while playing. Why does this happen?

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably the region itself is positioned bad and so the tower cannot be moved right on its center. As far as i know it should have moved the tower with its center on the region's center.

yeah, the region is sort of beside a cliff. So is there a way to force move the tower there? I mean ignoring pathing and all that?

Pathing: set all fields to 0 and None

Nope, still doesn't work. Oh and sorry, the region was not beside a cliff, I checked, and it is actually beside a boundary (you know the black terrian thing you can draw on the ground). Does that change anything?

> Does that change anything?

Yes if the area is not walkable. One way is to increase the playable area in the map options.

Another is to remove the unit's collision via trigger. And then move to the desired location.

Actions
  Unit - Turn (YourTower) collision off
  Unit - Move to somewhere...

I turned the collision off at Map Initialization. It still doesn't work. It works if I change the Arcane Tower to a footman or something, so maybe something wrong with the model centre point? It's just a wild guess...

Any unit (building) with a pathing map is constrained to the build grid; it can't be arbitrarily centered. You'll have to remove the pathing map, and then it should work as long as the position isn't blocked by terrain/borders/units etc.
